Taraji P. Henson is off the market, and she couldn't be happier! On Monday, the Empire [1] star announced that she's engaged to former NFL star Kelvin Hayden. Aside from giving us a glimpse of her gorgeous diamond ring [2], she also shared a sweet story about the proposal. "I said yes y'all!!!" she wrote on Instagram. "He started with the Cartier love bracelet BUT that was my #Mothersday gift and then he dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!! 😩😩😂😂😂#sheisofficiallyoffthemarket and she is sooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!! #GODIS 💍💋💋💋" Taraji is already mom to a 24-year-old son named Marcel Johnson from a previous relationship.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in December when they were spotted holding hands on the beach in Miami [3]. While they have kept their romance out of the spotlight, they have given us glimpse of their love from time to time. Congrats to the happy couple!
